A
dvancement in technology has continued to become a major driving force in
art forms. The innovations in manipulating materials, coloring, and
techniques in embellishment, and the creation of products applied in today’s
media, whether tangible or virtual in cyberspace.

PHOTOGRAPHY

P
hotography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by
recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by
means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material
such as photographic film.
Photography was viewed as a purely technical process that records visible
images by light action on light-sensitive materials. The word photography comes from
two Greek words “photos” meaning light and “graphos” meaning writing. It was
started in the late 19th century, and from then it was not immediately considered as
art.

The Photographer as Artist

T
he photographer focuses the camera at a subject and clicks the shutter to
make the photography as a process. Once the artist discerns an important
moment, and focuses his camera on it, and click the shutter it becomes an art
in photography. The photographer has captured the element of arts like form, color,
light, shadow, texture, and composition to create a true work of art.

Photography as Communication

➢ Photography is considered as one of the most powerful means of

communication.
 ➢ Photographic image is today’s most important means of conveying information
and ideas and expressing emotions.

Two typical characteristics of Photography

1. Immediacy- is seen in ‘true to life” and ‘of the moment’.

2. Detail- the camera takes in every detail of an image.

➢ Photographs are vital tools in communication fields such as journalism,

advertising, education, and even in courts of law.
